Charter flights are flights where a company or group charters our aircraft for private uses,they are also known as golden flights as the pay is relatively high compared tosome other KUL based airlines.

In Air Asia X, the A340 is usually used to operate the flights as mentioned above.If out of occupancy, the A330 will also be used for charter purposes.

Selection of crew to participate charter flights is basically based on

Crew who fly more than 6 months or a year ( Depends on the project )

NIL Experience of Charter ( Priority to those who haven't experience charter before- fair play )

A340 or A330 Qualified

Excellent performance, Healthy KPI score

Type of charters in Air Asia X -Tunisia Charter- Ferry flight ( with no passenger ) from KUL to TUNOperation) TUN-MED/JED and some other flights

Caracas Charter - Ferry flight from KUL to MAD then based in CCS .Normal Operation - Fixed Aircraft PatternAircraft is based in Caracas, Venezuela and flies to only 2 destinations

MAD, Spain ( Madrid )

EZE, Argentina ( Buenos Aires )

Other than this, there is also Jeddah Charter, Flynas Charter and so on,which the destinations sometimes change. Now, the important part, yes, the pay.

The pay, we call it 1.Charter Allowance is a fixed rate of RM300 per daywhen you are outbase. ( not in KL )Regardless you fly or not, you will be paid RM300 everyday.Let's say there is 31 Days in May, you will be paid 31 X RM300 = RM9300Isn't it amazing? There is no free lunch in this world though.Since you're being paid this high, you have to fly as per usual as in KL. The charter allowance is the same for all types of charters.

Other than this, each charter has its own 2. Fixed flight allowance, for instance, Algeria charter, you will be paid at a fixed rate 60 hours X your flight payaccording to ur rank.Eg. 60 X RM26 = RM1560 for normal FAIf you fly less or more than 60 hours, you will still get 60 hours pay!

To conclude this charter pay scheme,you will also get your 3.Basic salary as usual !It means RM9300+RM1560+RM1000 = RM11860 Before EPF!

On top of this, you don't have to pay for any rental/ accommodation.Crew will get a twin sharing room with same gender.For some destinations, you can get ur own room, like in Jeddah and Buenos Aires.

The chance is rare, it doesn't happen all year time.What I've mentioned above (charter flights) is uncertain as the pay scheme always changes.Thank you for reading, I hope it inspires people.

Privileges - Crew will be offered with attractive medical and dental benefits.Annual Leaves - Depends on years of service, regardless of rank.Less than 2 years - 12 Days2 to 5 years - 16 Days5 years and above - 22 Days
